The weather yesterday certainly helped consolidate the birds in certain areas. I had an unbelievable number of species (40) inside a 100 ft radius circle including some rarities and unusual species for the park. The winners were the Blackburnian and Blackpoll Warblers (one each) that joined the Virginia, Yellow, Yellow-rumped Warblers and Yellowthroats that were in larger numbers. Unfortunately I missed the Ovenbird that was seen in two different areas of vegetation. In addition, a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak popped up his head long enough to get a photo. Sparrows included Clay-colored, Brewers, White-crowned, Chipping and Song. Warbling Vireo, American Goldfinch, Pine Siskins, Bullocks Oriole, perched Violet-green Swallows, along with all the regulars made for an incredibly colorful display of an avian breeding bird plumage. Alnd this, all within a 100 ft radius area!
